What does it look like to pray when you're out of control? And what happens when desperation becomes the doorway to deeper trust? This week on The Cutting Room Floor, Neil sits down with Matt Williams to unpack what didn't make it into Sunday's sermon on desperation and prayer. From hospital rooms to unanswered prayers, they talk honestly about what it means to depend on God when control slips through your fingers. The conversation moves from the Garden of Gethsemane to everyday life, parenting, grief, career changes, and reframes prayer as relational, not transactional. It's a reminder that surrender isn't weakness; it's training for trust.   The challenge: As you step into a new year, don't just ask what you want to add. Ask what God is inviting you to lay down. Where might surrender make room for deeper dependence? Hosts: Neil Gregory & Matt Williams What We Discuss Why desperation often reveals what we truly depend on Standalone sermons and the pressure of closing out the year Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane as our model for prayer Prayer as relational rather than transactional How honesty and tears can become prayers Parenting, prayer, and reflecting the heart of the Father What it means to pray "Your will be done" when outcomes hurt The difference between hope and expectation Surrendering good things to say yes to better ones ⸻ About Southland Christian Church Southland is one church meeting in multiple locations across central Kentucky. We believe Jesus came for the lost and the broken, which means there's a place for everyone here. Around here, that means we worship defiantly, speak truth unashamedly, and extend grace generously.

FROM STRIVING TO ABIDING Unhurried time in God's presence Honest, ongoing prayer – not impressive prayer Obedience in small things Prayer for 2026: “Lord, teach us how to abide!”

"Even though the fig trees have no blossoms, and there are no grapes on the vines; even though the olive crop fails, and the fields lie empty and barren; even though the flocks die in the fields, and the cattle barns are empty, yet I will rejoice in the Lord! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation! The Sovereign Lord is my strength! He makes me as surefooted as a deer, able to tread upon the heights." Habakkuk 3:17-19 NLTTake time to reflect on this year, and identify areas where you could rejoice more in God and rely more on His strength— no matter what 2026 holds.

Have you ever wondered if the impossible could become possible? Just as technology transformed from science fiction to daily reality, the Christmas story reveals how God fulfilled hundreds of detailed prophecies through Jesus' birth - from His birthplace in Bethlehem to His virgin birth to His royal lineage. But this wasn't just about predictions coming true. Pastor Jeff shows how these fulfilled prophecies validate Jesus as God in flesh, who came to do what we never could - bridge the gap between us and God through His perfect life, sacrificial death, and triumphant resurrection. Want to discover how this ancient story changes everything about your life today? Listen to this hope-filled message that unpacks why nothing is impossible with God. Watch now!

Send us a textQuery letters make even experienced writers panic—and for good reason. In this special Ask Beth & Lisa episode, we're joined by author and educator Deborah Crossland for a deep, practical conversation about how to write a strong, effective query letter as we head into the 2026 querying season. Deborah breaks down what query letters are actually for, what agents want to see (and don't), and how writers can avoid the most common—and most damaging—mistakes.This episode is packed with actionable advice, mindset shifts, and real-world examples from the querying trenches.About Our GuestDeborah Crossland teaches English and mythology at a community college and writes myth-based contemporary YA novels with a feminist lens. Her novel The Quiet Part Out Loud was published in 2023, with the paperback released in 2024. She lives in Northern California and is passionate about making education accessible to all.Key Topics & TakeawaysWhat a Query Letter Is (and Isn't)The sole purpose of a query letter is to get an agent to request pages—not to sell the book or explain the entire plot.Think invitation, not explanation.The Anatomy of a Strong QueryA compelling hook (often 1–2 sentences)A focused pitch centered on external stakesBrief book details (genre, word count, comps)A short, professional author bioExternal Stakes Matter More Than You ThinkWriters often lean too hard on internal stakes; agents need to see what's happening.External conflict is what differentiates your book in a crowded field.If an agent can't picture the story visually, the query isn't doing its job.Pitch vs. SynopsisThe query pitch should not include spoilers or the ending.The synopsis is where you explain the full story, including how it ends.Mixing these up is one of the most common querying mistakes.How to Personalize Without Being CringeyReference an agent's manuscript wish list, not their personal life.Keep personalization professional, brief, and relevant.Treat it like a business introduction—not a social interaction.Query Etiquette (and Red Flags)Always submit queries exactly how the agent requests.Never DM agents or email around Query Manager.Don't announce querying rounds or submissions on social media.Avoid pitching your unpublished book publicly on Instagram, TikTok, or X.Author Bios for Debut WritersIt's perfectly acceptable to say, “This is my first novel.”Writing credentials are optional; strong pages matter more.Publishing loves debuts—lack of experience is not a liability.Series Talk: Less Is MoreDon't pitch a multi-book series as a debut.“Standalone with series potential” is sufficient.Length & ClarityQueries should be concise and tightly written.Every word must earn its place.If you can't summarize your story clearly, you may not be ready to query.Hooks, Loglines, and Netflix ThinkingThink in terms of loglines or streaming-style descriptions.If you can't explain your story in one sharp sentence, that's a sign to step back.

As we begin the Advent season, on the first Sunday the Christian Church around the world often begins by talking about hope. Hope is the persistent trust that believes and acts as though the thing hoped for will happen. In the past, the Jewish people persisted in hope that the Messiah would come. He did come as Messiah Jesus. Today, Christians persist in hope that Jesus will come again to set not just humans right with God but all things! But hoping in the midst of pain and struggle, when we can't see with our eyes proof that we aren't hoping in vain, is difficult. Join us as Pastor Jessica opens God's Word to encourage us to persist in hope. Join us for service every Sunday at 9:15am or 11:00am (EST).
